Spatial entity layers

Note Master 25-07-2026

The map is split into three types of place (entities). They never overlap, so every spot on the map belongs to exactly one type.

Type Source
Building ZTOWN building outlines, used as they are
Street MAPPLE street center lines, widened to the width of each street
Open space Everything that is left after streets and buildings are removed from the street network area

Two details matter later:

  • Streets are stored as many short pieces next to each other. Because of this, a stay on a street has many street candidates around it, and this hurts the model: Candidate density bias toward building.
  • Underground shopping arcades are not in ZTOWN. Stays recorded there had no matching building, so they were removed: Ground truth drop list.
